It is always recommended to leave fire and water damage restoration to the professionals. There are too many things that can go wrong and only a few that can go right if you decide to tackle the job yourself, or hire an unqualified company to do it. So the question is, what qualifies as a professional restoration company and how do I find one?
The ideal restoration company will have certified technicians with knowledge and experience in the field. They will have all the proper equipment to do the job. They should also have the ability to help you with the insurance process. If you encounter a restoration company that doesn’t have 24/7 service then move on. This is a fundamental necessity for this type of industry.
Now if you are the victim of fire or water damage then time is of the essence. But don’t let this deter you from taking the proper steps for hiring a qualified restoration company. Make your short list of prospects and create a list of questions that they need to answer to your satisfaction. Are they licensed and insured? How long have they been in business? Do their technicians have the proper certifications? If so then can they produce copies of them for you? How much experience do their technicians have in water or water damage mitigation? Do they have the proper equipment for the job? What type of equipment do they use? Are they able to assist you with correctly filling out and filing any pertinent insurance forms?
If any company refuses to answer any of these questions or does not answer them to your satisfaction, then move on. It’s not worth the risk to hire one of these companies just because you are in a hurry. Take just a little more time and find the right one that you feel comfortable with.
If you are not in a fire or water damage situation it doesn’t hurt to still call around and find one to keep in your back pocket in case you ever do need one. This will eliminate the hassle of having to search for a qualified company in the midst of an actual emergency. Already having a trusted company at the ready will make life just a little easier should you ever have the unfortunate incidence of a fire or flood.
Qualified fire and water damage restoration companies are out there. Unfortunately so are a number of unqualified companies. Make sure you ask the right questions to ensure you get one of the good ones.
